SALIENT DIVINE ABILITIES

A salient divine ability is like a feat—it gives a deity a new capability or improves one that the deity already has. A deity has one salient divine ability for each divine rank the deity
has, plus additional salient divine abilities reflecting its status: Demigods receive one bonus ability, lesser deities receive two
bonus abilities, intermediate deities receive three, and greater
deities receive five.

Some salient divine abilities have prerequisites. Usually, the deity must have all the listed prerequisites to have the ability.
A divine rank of 1 is a prerequisite for all salient divine
abilities. The most common salient divine abilities are described here. A few deities have unique salient divine abilities that are
described in the deity’s individual entry.

Using Salient Divine Abilities: Using a salient divine ability is a standard action unless otherwise noted in the ability
description. Using a salient divine ability does not provoke an
attack of opportunity.

Salient Divine Abilities and Antimagic: A salient divine ability functions normally within an antimagic field, and is never subject to spell resistance.
